The most evocative name in Triumph history is back! Originally used on Triumph’s high-performance 6T model of 1951, this all-new 1,597cc cruiser is arguably the most appropriate model to wear the famous Thunderbird name and logo.
Conceived as a result of customer demand for a cruiser to fill the gap between the 865cc America and Speedmaster, and the awesome Rocket III family, the Thunderbird is a thoroughly modern parallel-twin with the high-quality dynamics expected from Triumph.
At the heart and soul of Thunderbird is the world’s largest production parallel-twin motor. The torque-laden ‘T-16’ motor features a bore and stroke of 103.8 x 94.3mm and eschews the hackneyed V-twin engine, bringing Triumph’s traditional layout to the large capacity cruiser market for the first time.
